Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method and device for creating a final image by combining multiple images and depth information associated with the subjects in the images. This allows for a more precise and realistic representation of the subjects in the final image.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the depth information of the subjects is extracted in the electronic device, an image is processed by extracting the depth information more than necessary, which results in an increase in an amount of image processing in practice.
